The Experience

Hello to the worldwide adventure, my name is Mahmood, and I am 30 years old. I started my new hostel and I run it and I receive tourists from diFerent areas of the world. My village is well known: we have the second deepest grand canyon in the world, and the highest mountain in the middle east. I like to ride my motorbike, explore nature, hiking in the mountain near my hostel.

Although it was a bit of a slower pace of life than I expected, I loved my stay here at the hostel! Mahmood is very welcoming to everyone that comes to his hostel and I enjoyed getting to go on hikes and learn more about Omani culture!

This is a peaceful and relaxing place, perfect for those looking to connect with nature. The cleaning tasks are simple and easy to manage, giving you plenty of time to explore. The host is kind and welcoming, The hostel is surrounded by hiking spots, and if you're feeling adventurous, hitchhiking is a great way to get around and discover the area.
